This afternoon I took my wife for a walk at Rancho San Antonio and this guy was right at the park entrance. He was under attack by a female kestrel. I could not have gotten this shot without my wife's help, so this one is for her.
wonderful fly by shot, the wing position and talons simi down look great, again you have the nice golden look, I was wondering why he was looking straight ahead instead of at you! now I know as he was being pestered by a kestrel! Your wife must be great to have along with you, with shots like this I would be taking her everyday!
Hi Yami! I love the colors of this bird. I've not seen this type of raptor around here. But I like his orange colors, the details you captured is amazing, he just stands out against the blue sky! I like also that you caught his landing gear down! Once again, just amazing. P.S. I emailed you the directions to the egret pond.The name of the lake is Lakeshore Park in Newark CA. It's a nice place to visit with the family. You may be able to get better directions using Google Earth. Take care!
